Hannah Darabi\u2019s exhibition brings together two of the artist\u2019s projects on visual culture related to Iran. Soleil of Persian Square <\/em>(2017-2021) is an investigation into the visual identity of the Iranian diaspora\u2019s lifestyle in Los Angeles. It attempts to give a face to the fictional city called \u2018Tehrangeles\u2019, which the artist discovered through images associated with popular music in her teenage years. The project weaves together ordinary landscapes of Los Angeles and Orange County, portraits of its inhabitants, and popular culture productions such as cassette sleeves, song lyrics, music videos from the 1980s and 1990s, and pages from directories featuring the activities of this diaspora. Soleil of Persian Square <\/em>is not only a journey from real to imaginary space, but also a way of life and a way of thinking embodied in popular culture, which today is positioned against the moral values of the current Iranian regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haut Bas Fragile <\/em>investigates the possibility of representing the city of Tehran, which has long resisted the photographic image. These images are not documents of the failings of urban modernity, nor are they visual conventions for picturesque or exotic imagery: they refer to an aesthetic of the ordinary and the common. Composed of multiple layers, this project intends to offer an alternative image of Tehran, showing its most visible, and for that very reason often ignored side, by fabricating micro-histories of the ordinary city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019exposition You\u2019re So Tehran! <\/em>regroupe pour la premip\u00e8re fois deux projets d\u2019Hannah Darabi sur la culture visuelle li\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019Iran. Soleil of Persian Square <\/em>(2017-2021) est une recherche sur l\u2019identit\u00e9 visuelle du style de vie de la diaspora iranienne \u00e0 Los Angeles. Elle tente de donner un visage \u00e0 cette ville fictionnelle qui a pour nom \u00ab Tehrangeles \u00bb, que l\u2019artiste a d\u00e9couverte \u00e0 travers des images associ\u00e9es \u00e0 la musique populaire dans ses ann\u00e9es d\u2019adolescence. Le projet tisse des liens entre des paysages ordinaires de Los Angeles et d\u2019Orange County, des portraits de ses habitants, et des objets issus de la culture populaire, tels que des pochettes de cassettes, des paroles de chansons, des clips musicaux des ann\u00e9es 1980 et 1990, ou encore des pages d\u2019annuaires consacr\u00e9s aux activit\u00e9s de cette diaspora. Soleil of Persian Square <\/em>ne d\u00e9signe pas seulement un voyage de l\u2019espace r\u00e9el \u00e0 celui de l\u2019imaginaire, mais aussi un mode de vie et une fa\u00e7on de penser incarn\u00e9s dans la culture populaire, qui se positionne aujourd\u2019hui contre les valeurs morales du r\u00e9gime iranien actuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haut Bas Fragile <\/em>(2013-2016) investigue la possibilit\u00e9 de repr\u00e9senter la ville de T\u00e9h\u00e9ran, laquelle a longtemps r\u00e9sist\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019image photographique. Ces images ne constituent pas des documents susceptibles d\u2019illustrer l\u2019\u00e9chec d\u2019une modernit\u00e9 urbanistique ni des conventions visuelles en vue d\u2019une imagerie pittoresque ou exotique, mais renvoient \u00e0 une esth\u00e9tique de l\u2019ordinaire et du commun. Compos\u00e9 de multiples couches, ce projet entend proposer une image alternative de T\u00e9h\u00e9ran, sa face la plus visible, et pour cela m\u00eame ignor\u00e9e, en fabriquant des microhistoires de la ville ordinaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
